[2019-07-07-Impact-Slammiversary XVII] Sami Callihan vs Tessa Blanchard

[Tenese Sarwieh]

I'm not to big on inter gender matches but since I watch Impact on the regular I kept up with the build for this. While it was good I still had concerns about how things would play out and they surprised me. This is the perfect way to do these types of matches and they had the perfect performers in these roles. Tessa was the sympathetic babyface everyone wanted to beat the asshole heel in Sami. Just the simple story of her giving all she had but coming up short in the end was brilliantly done. And the aftermath of Sami handing her the bat giving her a endorsement made her come off like the biggest star in the company. Damn good match.

Really enjoyed this as well. Perfect matchup. Scummy heel vs sympathetic babyface. This is what I want to see more of in 2019. Hopefully there are more matches between them in the future
